Firdousabad Batamaloo residents appeal PHE authorities

Residents of Lane 2A- Firdousabad Batamaloo here today expressed strong resentment against failure of Public Health Engineering (PHE) department for failing to repair a leaking water supply pipe in the locality.

A delegation from the area led by senior citizen Pir Jalaluddiun said the water supply pipe started leaking a week ago. “We apprised the local PHE officials about the matter. Ironically, despite passing of a week, no action was taken as a result water has started to damage road and seeping into foundation of our houses,” Pir Jalaluddin said.

The aggrieved residents appealed chief engineer PHE to look into the matter.

Medical faculty association (MFA) of Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar has expressed dismay over holding one doctor responsible for the death of a new born whose mother was refused admission at Lal Ded (LD) Hospital here.
